Institution Parking Slot Conclusion However, the majority of contributors have given a competent response, while examiners have discussed the competence of the report, which indicated that present rules do not exert a significant effect on the parking situations. Therefore, the regulations set by the schools does not result in the proper management of the parking state. Hence, the lack of one voice within the highest department/ office has been considered as one of the critical sources of unfortunate parking situations. However, entire contributors have shown a lot of concern and participation. Besides, 64 percent of participant gave a complete and accurate financial information, which show, introducing a small parking fee by the institutions was the principal source of commotion within parking slots. Ultimately, the lack of unity among students and staff considered another cause of the problem. Fundamentally, the condition/state of Car parks Lots in GCC, in the town of Glendale appears to be the fundamental problems. Therefore, allocation of the parking lot considered to be an extreme problem, since around 30% of student comes to school with their…
Effect of Hydropower on Climate Change The use of water to generate power, known as hydroelectric power, is not a new concept in the world. James Francis engineered the first modern water turbine in 1849, and it was named after him, the Francis turbine. A few decades later, other scientists designed a hydropower plant in the United States along the Fox River (Yamba et al. 1). Currently, hydropower accounts for about 16% of the world’s electricity. Only two states in the United States do not use hydropower. These figures show the growing importance of hydropower plants, and many other countries should follow suit. There is controversy surrounding hydropower plants as several people argue that it has harmful effects on the environment while the rest insist that it offers more benefits to the environment. To provide a better understanding of hydropower plants, we need to analyze both sides of this issue. Therefore, we take an in-depth look at the positive and negative effects of hydropower plans on climate. A standard hydropower plant has three components: a power plant that produces…
Earthquake prediction and new techniques being developed Earthquakes are a result of the earth’s surface shaking and releasing energy into the crust of the earth, thus creating seismic waves. An earthquake can be tremendously violent. The earthquakes are brought about by the abnormal motions in the tectonic plates of the earth. The study of an earthquake is referred to as seismology. An earthquake can be brief or even repetitive at times. The rapid discharge of tension within the crust’s tectonic plates transmits energy waves that travel across the earth. The study of seismology involves the frequency, cause, size as well as type of earthquakes. There are two types of earthquakes, namely large and small earthquakes. The large earthquakes can bring down buildings as well as causing injury and death. The earthquake measurements are obtained from seismograph observations. The intensity and the magnitude of the earthquake are regularly registered on the Richter scale. An earthquake that occurs under the ocean or sea can result in a tsunami. A seismometer is a device that is used to measure the impact of an…
Identification and assessment of significant risks using game theory by GM General Motors is working towards converting its existing line of vehicle business into all new electric vehicles. It implies that the organization require resources and correct assessment of the resources. Converting traditional vehicles into electric vehicles would involve risks, and the company can consider using game theory in order to assess the risk. The game theory considers the factors that could affect customers, employees and other parties involved. During the decision making process, the reaction of these two parties matters and ways in which they will respond to the final decision also matters. The management at General Motors can use the game theory for assessing the problem and then determining the most suitable solution. The customers might opine that they will prefer electric vehicles rather than the traditional vehicles because it can reduce harmful emissions and enhance the overall health. EVs also produce less noise pollution and considering the environmental impact, it can be stated that EVs produce less harmful impact. On the other hand, another customer base might…
ERM implementation- A real case example and comparison ERM is regarded as a business strategy that is prepared to assess hazards and potential disasters in the future. The hazards might interfere with the operations of the organization, and it is essential for the corporation to identify the risks beforehand. Risk identification can help in risk management, and leaders or executives can prepare an action plan as well. ERM is useful across various industries such as airlines, construction, and finance or insurance (Hampton, 2009). Here, a real case study of an organization Delta that operates within the airlines’ industry shall be considered. The process of ERM shall be compared with Intuit, another company that also implemented ERM to mitigate risks. Description of real use case Delta operates within the airlines’ industry, and it came across a future risk that required to be mitigated immediately. The business would have faced serious consequences and unprofitable outcomes, if it would not have done something against the rising fuel prices. Airlines companies like Delta previously used traditional methods of risk management in order to…
Emergency Preparedness for Special Needs Populations ‘Access and functional needs’ individuals refer to people who require help because of any conditions that hinder their capacity to act like rational human beings. Many people in the entire community have access and functional needs in case of an emergency. Studies show that about 50 percent of individuals who seek help in disaster recovery shelters have some form of disability or access and functional need (Mace et al., 2018). Misunderstandings regarding their needs can impede or prevent the allocation of the help needed. In general, the provision for people with physical disability does not match their needs due to various problem areas. These problems are related to worker and management failures and key weaknesses within disaster management shelters as a unit. One of these problems is perspectives towards disability and ill-advised suppositions regarding the capabilities of people with disabilities and their associations to contain and counter to calamities (Twigg et al., 2011). Shelters for people with physical disabilities should be designed such they are accessible to allow for natural movements. These individuals…
Origin of Specific “Some of my critics have said, “Oh, he is a good observer, but has no power of reasoning.” I do not think that this can be true, for the Origin of Species is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and it has convinced not a few able men.” (Charles Darwin). According to this statement, evolution is founded on various variation hypothesis, which describes the variation of the same species that often result in the differences between multiple species. The theory of Darwin is usually based on the concept of variation. In organisms, variations are either within domesticated species and native species in the world. Natural selections have caused several traits such as shapes, colors, bodily organs, feathers, and fur to be perpetuated in the natural world with some species. Several variations do not randomly exist though they have proven to be essential in the survival of all species. For instance, the wings help in allowing birds to easily migrate from one environment to another, in case of harsh climate conditions and environmental disasters. According…

DHS’s role in strengthening the security of the United States against cyber-threats The anticipated cyber-attacks from China in the United States have become a significant concern. Sudden malicious attacks can weaken the nation’s critical infrastructure, and by 2020, there would be a rise in criminal activities. In case the electric grid of the country shuts down, it can have a severe impact on the communication channels. Firstly, the DOD or the Department of Defense would lose its ability to maintain its communication. Secondly, the anticipated attacks will hit the financial as well as commercial institutions operating in the U.S. The DHS can take active steps to assess the situation and prevent the risks.
